Recently, my husband and I listened to Gretchen Rubin’s “The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People’s Lives Better, Too)”. I have to say, its the book improved marriage communication for us dramatically. It also happens to be a New York Times bestseller, so I don’t… Continue reading Improve Marriage Communication | A book that Helped

Stop Nagging and Keep Loving
Over the weekend I came down with a monster stye on my eye. The top eyelid of my left eye swelled up to about double it’s size. Besides being painful and making it difficult to see, I found that my eye wasn’t the only thing that was hurting. My patience took a hit, too.… Continue reading Stop Nagging and Keep Loving
How do you have more love in marriage?
On Sunday, my husband and I celebrated thirteen years of marriage. In a way it seems like we’ve been together for forever. But at the same time, I don’t feel like an old married couple at all. I honestly do get excited when I hear the door open after a long day of work and… Continue reading How do you have more love in marriage?

Because in addition to today being Election Day, it’s also my parent’s 47th wedding anniversary. Forty-seven years is a major accomplishment. They have been married for as long as my… Continue reading Election Day Love
A Dozen Years of Love
On Saturday, my husband and I celebrated our 12th wedding anniversary. So, it’s officially a dozen years of love. Not too bad for a couple that is “bad on paper”. That was the big joke when we first got together. At first glance, I think many people rightfully weren’t sure this would last 12 months,… Continue reading A Dozen Years of Love
Date Nights (or Days!)
I’m a firm believer in date nights. I feel like so many couples discount the importance of blocking out a few times a month- yes a month- to go on a date. And I get it- lots of couples with young kids can’t image going out just the two of them to have some fun.… Continue reading Date Nights (or Days!)
